Nine pollen samples were submitted for analysis from two sites in the Cyprus Mines Hansen Project area in Fremont County, Colorado. Five samples were taken from a floodplain campsite (5FN189) during trenching operations, and the remaining four samples were obtained from a rockshelter (5FN349). Information was sought concerning the vegetation at the time of the occupation of these two sites. Evidence of the specific economic use of plants at these two sites was also sought.

POLLEN ANALYSIS IN DREWS VALLEY, SOUTHEAST OREGON (1994)
Pollen columns and cultural features were examined from five archaeological sites in Drews Valley, Oregon. Radiocarbon ages from these sites place their occupation between Middle Holocene and recent. The single exception is the presence of Mazama ash at the La Sere Site (35LK2101), which indicates that the lowest sediments predate 6000 BP. Drews Valley is situated at the western edge of Goose Lake Basin, an internally draining sub-basin of the northern Great Basin. Stratigraphic samples were...

POLLEN ANALYSIS IN THE FORMAL GARDENS AT THE ADENA/WORTHINGTON ESTATE, OHIO (1997)
The Adena estate is situated in the uplands above the Scioto River Valley. The estate includes the main house, a wash house, smoke house, spring house, bank barn, overseer's house, the formal gardens, and a vegetable garden.

Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1960. Illustration of five types of archaeologically relevant information from pollen study of site-context sediment samples: which sites do and do not yield pollen data; intra-site cross-dating of sample proveniences; information on cultivated plants; and relationships of cultural activities to environmental conditions.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF 42KA1969 (1980)
Twelve pollen samples were selected for analysis from several areas within 42Ka1969, a two component site located in south central Utah.

Site 5RB 1872 is a Late Archaic site located near the head of Coal Draw, an intermittent drainage which flows into East Douglas Creek less than a mile upstream from the confluence of East and West Douglas Creeks. Monitoring of bulldozer activity revealed eight identifiable strata of alluvium and five lenses of charcoal and ash. A single Late Archaic projectile point base and a quartzite sandstone flake made up the artifact assemblage. A well constructed fire hearth was noted in the lowest...
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A BERM BETWEEN FISHPONDS, FORT DERUSSY, O’AHU ISLAND, HAWAI’I (2011)
Two samples were collected from a possible berm or edge of a berm between fishponds located on a previous floodplain at Fort DeRussy. Cultivation of wetland taro is a possibility prior to construction of the fishponds. Pollen analysis was undertaken to search for evidence that taro was grown in this area.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A BURNED METATE FRAGMENT, 48SU1016, WYOMING (2002)
A single burned metate fragment, recovered from Hearth #4 at 48SU1016, was submitted for pollen analysis of a wash of the surface. This site remains undated at this writing, although a radiocarbon sample was submitted from this hearth. Feature #4 is a deep basin, partially lined with large, oxidized sandstone slabs, that yielded 34 gallons of fill. It is part of a large prehistoric site located along a ridge in the western portion of the Green River Basin.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A CHECK DAM AND LINEAR BORDER AT AZ T:4:35(ASM) (1989)
Six pollen samples were examined from two trenches at AZ T:4:35(ASM), New River Community Park. This large Hohokam site contains evidence of check dams and possible linear borders.

POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A FLOOR AT CA-SBa-46 (MESCALITAN ISLAND), SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA (1989)
Approximately one-third of the floor of an historic Chumash house was excavated on f1escalitan Island (CA-SBa-46). The floor was sampled for pollen along a 25 cm grid. The floor was clay, while the surrounding floor matrix was sand, so analysis of floor sediments that contained pollen and other debris that had been impressed into the surface was undertaken to identify evidence of subsistence and plant processing activities in the structure.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A GEOPROBE CORE FROM A KARST SINKHOLE AT FT. CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY (2004)
Forty-eight pollen samples were examined from a stratigraphic core collected from the fill of a broad sink hole that appeared to be somewhat mature on the Ft. Campbell property in southwest Kentucky. This core was collected because fill in the sink hole was believed to represent the entire Holocene. The base of the core appears to be bedrock. Pollen samples were examined at varying intervals, depending on stratigraphy in the core, to provide a stratigraphic record of vegetation throughout...

Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to identify the garden plantings.
A Pollen Analysis of a Hudson's Bay Company Non-garden Provenience, Fort Vancouver, Washington
The Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research at the University of Massachusetts Boston conducted a palynological analysis on six contiguous soil samples that were collected from the Fort Vancouver site. The samples were recovered from a location associated with the Hudson Bay Company's occupation that is situated in close proximity to what is today Fort Vancouver's Visitors Center, which is scheduled to undergo extensive renovations in the near future (Dorset 2010 Pers. Comm.)....

POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A KIVA FLOOR AT GRAN QUIVERA (1988)
Fifteen pollen samples were collected from a kiva floor at Gran Quivera. This site is located in central New Mexico in the Upper Sonoran Life Zone. It was occupied between AD 8OO and AD 1775. The kiva, which was sampled for pollen, has building date of AD 1510. The kiva was occupied during Glaze D. This pollen analysis follows previous work at this site (Scott 1987), that examined stratigraphic midden deposits. The pollen samples were collected from the floor of the kiva in an effort to...
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A LARGE SINKHOLE, KAGMAN PENINSULA, SAIPAN (1996)
Ten pollen samples and one sample containing small, black items that appeared in the field to be charred, were submitted to Paleo Research for Analysis. Pollen samples were recovered from strata in a large, natural sinkhole on the Kagman Peninsula on the east side of Saipan. Questions asked of the pollen record include: 1) determine the preservation of pollen, 2) characterize the "early vegetation", 3) identify any significant changes in vegetation composition through time, and 4) note and...
